Introduction

The Kirby Content Translator plugin empowers editors to translate content from one language to another with a single click. Add the Panel view button to any page, file, or site blueprint and translate content directly in the Kirby Panel using DeepL.

• 🖱️ One-Click Translation: Translate content directly from the Panel header with the view button.
• 📦 Batch Translation: Translate to multiple languages simultaneously from the default language.
• 📄 All Content Types: Translate pages, files (metadata), and site content.
• 🧩 Structure-Aware: Supports blocks, layouts, structures, objects, and nested fields.
• 🏷️ KirbyTags Support: Selectively translate KirbyTag attributes while preserving URLs and UUIDs.
• ⚡ PHP API: Automate translations with CLI commands or custom workflows.
• 🪝 Hooks System: Customize translation behavior with before/after hooks.
• 🔌 Multiple Providers: Built-in DeepL support, AI translation via Kirby Copilot, or custom translation services.

The plugin integrates seamlessly with the Kirby Panel and provides programmatic access via its PHP API.
